Disclaimer: I don't really own these people. Although it is nice to
pretend once in a while.
Author's Note: Wow, I really can't spell tonight, so if there are any mistakes, sorry in advance. The song is "Heaven by Bryan Adams. And I really don't have anything else to say except a big humungous shout out to the reviewers for the last chapter. Y'all are seriously the best, thank you.
"I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany was blaring throughout the Inn as Rory and Tristan walked through the wooden doors. The place had a nice cheery atmosphere. 'Sookie must be cooking dinner right now,' Rory thought, as she smelled spaghetti cooking.
"Oh my gosh Elmer, is that Rory I see?" Lorelai gasped, rubbing her eyes and looking down at her daughter from the top of the stairs. "It is! It is!"
Tristan nearly dove for cover as Lorelai flew down the stairs to greet her daughter. He got up after Rory had been used as a human pinball. Seeing the two brunettes laughing about something already, he headed to the library.
"Excuse me, you can't go in there." A French accented voice called out.
"Too bad Michel." Tristan responded to the yell, as he strolled calmly through the rich oak doors.
"Damn rich people. They think they own the world." Michel muttered, doing some paperwork that Lorelai had dumped on him already.
"Careful Michel. His family does own half of Hartford, practically." Lorelai walked behind the desk as Michel had yelled at Tristan.
"Whatever. I'll be in my office if you need me."
"You don't have an office."
"Furthest place from you is fine." Michel walked off, leaving Rory and Lorelai to mimic his retreating figure.
In the Library Tristan strolled around, looking for nothing in particular. 'Damn, she's rubbing off on me already. Next thing I know, I'll be reading Russian poetry, and French epics.' Tristan shook is head at how much Rory had actually influenced him in the short time they saw each other again.
Seeing a grand piano in the back corner, Tristan headed towards it. The only thing he really knew how to play was "Heaven" by Bryan Adams because his sister used to listen to the song so much. He also knew how to play "Mary Had A Little Lamb," but he tended to avoid playing that for as long as he could remember because her nickname was Mary. He stopped playing the day after the PJ Harvey dilemma.
"I knew you had a thing for pianos." A voice jolted Tristan out of the memories he was drowning in. "Shove over."
Making room for Rory, he sighed. This wasn't going to be easy. He was now drowning in something else. Her eyes. It wasn't anything new, except this time she had a happy aura about her.
"What's got you so happy? Did you now just realize that Starbucks sold Danishes along with coffee?"
Rory smacked Tristan lightly in the shoulder. "No, I'm just happy to be home. You know, I think that Stars Hollow is the only place I feel totally at home. Do you know what I mean? Do you ever feel at home in one specific place and that's all?"
No. Tristan didn't know what a 'home' was. To him, it was where you showered, ate sometimes, and slept most of the time. And where your mail came, but that was about it. He shrugged. "Not really, but Yale is starting to grow on me." Tristan gave a weak smile and looked at Rory.
"I'm glad you brought me here, thanks." Rory leaned on Tristan's muscular shoulder. She started to feel herself falling a little more for Tristan everyday. She didn't even know it was possible. "Do you even know how to play anything on here? I mean, it seems that you sit on the bench only."
"You're doubting my piano skills? I'm the next Stevie Wonder, Ror!" Tristan grinned, as he started to play the scales.
"Then prove it, wonder boy. Sing too, cause Stevie does, too."
Tristan hesitated for a moment. He didn't really like singing in front of people. "If you insist." He could possibly make Rory fall for him if he sang. His old roommates girlfriend once said that it was sweet for a guy to sing to a girl. "Here goes nothing." He started to play and sing "Heaven." Suddenly he was thankful for his sister obsessing over the song.
"Ohhhh thinkin' bout all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more,"
Tristan's voice slightly waved as he sang the next couple lines. They applied so much to him and Rory it wasn't even funny.
"Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Pick you up when your feelin' down
Now nothin' could change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way,"
Rory thought about it, and thought about it. Her favorite part of this song was the chorus. With Tristan, it seemed to describe what she felt when she was with him. He was her best friend, but did he want more like she did? She wanted to know.
"Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standin' there by you
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Ooooooh
We're in heaven."
When Tristan finished, his voice was barely above a whisper. A few times during the song, his voice broke, but he blamed it on not practicing for a while.
"Who knew? You would be singing to me, when I didn't even know you could sing? The player singing "Heaven" to Mary?" She laughed.
Moving his arm around her shoulders, Tristan shifted so Rory was more comfortable. He laughed as well. It was sort of ironic, actually. "Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?" A relaxing silence fell over the 'crowd' as the question went unanswered.
Lorelai Gilmore looked on at the couple sitting at the grand piano. She was dying for Rory to admit that she liked Tristan. Well, more than liked in all reality. The two people sitting at the piano could be easily mistaken for an engaged couple, newlyweds, or a couple that had been dating since they could remember.
"They're so cute, aren't they?" Sookie came up behind Lorelai. She nodded towards Rory and Tristan.
"Yeah, they are."
"He's kind of cute, too."
"Well, duh. That's the only reason why I like him." Lorelai rolled her eyes.
Sookie smiled, knowing that Lorelai liked Tristan for more reasons than that. "So, where is he staying?"
"I don't know."
"Is he staying at his parents house?"
"No, Rory said that he's here because of a funeral. His grandma died."
"Poor boy."
Michel walked up to the duo and loudly ordered them to get back to work. He was thisclose to getting the crap beat out of him because he made Rory and Tristan snap out of their paradise. "What?
